Take Action and Fight the Smears

By http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/person/gGxtkQ">Sam Graham-Felsen

The Obama campaign just launched a new website, http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/">FightTheSmears.com.

At this site, you can not only find information that thoroughly debunks smears and false rumors -- you can take action now and spread the truth with your friends and contacts.

As Obama http://www.barackobama.com/2008/06/03/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_73.php">stated on June 3...

What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon – that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first.

We won't engage in these kind of smears but make no mistake: when confronted with them, we will fight back vigorously with the truth.

So, if you've ever recieved a smear email, heard a false rumor from a friend or acquaintance, or come across a website propagating lies, and wondered how to fight back, now you know what to do: visit http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/">FightTheSmears.com. and take direct, productive action to push back on these mistruths.

1. This was on the front page of Yahoo

in their News section. My only objection is the headline, which you can read here:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080612/ts_alt_afp/usvoteobamainternet

By putting the word SMEARS in italics, it implies that maybe they aren't smears, at least in my book. What do you think?

2. We need to get a real editor to weigh in on this.....

I have a hunch you're right.
